Thread

I realize there are quite a few threads on this topic, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what to do from the ones I read.

I just installed EE on my domain and after a succesfull installation it gives me a blank screen when I press “Your Control Panel is located here”.
I’ve run the Server Wizard and it tells me I’m ok with the requisites including “PHP 5.1.6 or greater”

First it would give me the “Unable to load the requested file: account/login.php”, but I added the “themes” line in config and it went to the blank screen.
Since this is not the first time I get this, I’ve also tried changing
$config[‘uri_protocol’]  = ‘AUTO’;  into:  $config[‘uri_protocol’]  = ‘QUERY_STRING’;
as suggested here: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/130554/

But still no luck.
I’m not a web developer and I’m not used to deal with the server trickery, so I’d appreciate your help very much.

Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the ExpressionEngine forums, Renan.

Tell us more about your server. In the server wizard, are you seeing everything supported?

Everything is supported.

//
PHP Version 5.1.6 or greater                   Yes
MySQL (Version 4.1+) support in PHP           Yes
URL Segment Support                     Yes
CAPTCHAs feature and watermarking in Image Gallery   Yes
Ability to send Pings                       Yes
Image Thumbnailing using GD, GD2, Imagemagick or NetPBM   Yes
GIF Image Resizing Using GD (or GD 2)          Yes
JPEG Image Resizing Using GD (or GD 2)              Yes
PNG Image Resizing Using GD (or GD 2)              Yes
Built in Spellchecker   optional             Yes

I’ve heard a lot of things about PHP error, but my guess would be it shouldn’t have anything to do with it, since everything is supported.

No suggestions?!

Renan,

Sorry you got no reply here. Our support policy was to answer threads on rotation so each time you bumped your post it got added to end of queue without our knowledge

First it would give me the “Unable to load the requested file: account/login.php”, but I added the “themes” line in config and it went to the blank screen.

Can you confirm you added an absolute server path here and not a URL?
Also please share with us the exact config variable you used

In your system/index.php can you turn your debugging on.

$debug = 1;

This might give us another error to work with after you updated your config file with the theme variable

An absolute server path would be the IP?

I will have change the debug config later when I get home.

Just tried the debug. I there was an error in: 
$config[‘theme_folder_path’]

I was using “http:// ... ” and swap for “/home/public_html/...”

Now I get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/.../expressionengine/config/config.php on line 38

That line has :
$config[‘base_url’]  = ‘http://mywebsite.com.br/’;

What’s the syntax error?

I was actually missing the “;” in the end.

Now I have a lot of errors related to the “theme_folder_path”, working on that.

I finally got it figured !!!

It was simple actually.
Instead of using apostrophes, I was using quotes in a few lines.
And I deleted the “theme_folder_path”
I think the whole error was caused by a bad setup in the $config[‘base_url’]
Which I think had apostrophes.
What is weird is why it didn’t get properly setup in the beginning.

Thanks for your attention!

Excellent. Glad its up and running now. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions
